1Percentage by weight by the tablet total weight amount 1Poly-(vinylpyrrolidone) preliminary preparation screening
Carry out the Preliminary screening of substrate tablet with a plurality of experiments.With the tablet hardness of the various preparations of Model VK2000 VanKel tablet hardness analysis-e/or determining, and be unit as the meansigma methods record of 10 tests with kPa (kP).
By the rotation of tablet sample being come the fragility of test tablet for 100 times with Erweka TA fragility analyzer.Damage the tablet fragility of calculating various preparations according to the weight of tablet in this test.
By graduated glass cylinder is filled to the bulk density that the 100ml labelling is measured preparation granules carefully.Measure tap density after the graduated cylinder of filling touched 100 times.
Mensuration particle grain size distribution as described below: collect and assess fine particle and oarse-grained percentage ratio greater than 140 orders (about 0.105mm nominal sieve aperture) and 40 orders (about 0.42mm nominal sieve aperture).
Be used in the device II that describes among the American Pharmacopeia XXI/ NF XVI and carry out the dissolution in vitro test.Get the 1.5ml aliquot and, pass through TDX via the filtration of 0.45 μ m filter Fluorescence polarization immunoassay is measured.After each sampling, in the test mixing thing, add isopyknic medium to keep constant volume.Test condition is as follows: device USP II, oar formula medium 1M HCl (a hour): the remaining time is 0,0.5,1,2,4,6,8,13,24 hour sample time of 37 ℃ ± 0.5 ℃ oar speed 100rpm of pH6.8 buffer solution medium volume 900ml temperature sample volume 1.5ml
The result of these tests is as shown in table 2.
According to the data in these preliminary experiments and the table 2, drawn following conclusion: (1) is to the influence of tablet hardness: use ethanol often can improve tablet hardness as granulation liquid.Between the particle diameter of ethanol and batch medicine very strong interaction is arranged.Only in the preparation that contains the greater particle size medicine, observed the hardness increase.The observed drug less for particle diameter arrived adverse effect.(2) to brittle influence: use medicine to reduce fragility with small particle diameter.Yet this effect only is significant in the preparation that makes water as granulation liquid.(3) to the influence of density: the result shows, uses ethanol to reduce particulate density as granulation liquid.Yet, observed ethanol and used Klucel , and ethanol and diameter of aspirin particle between remarkable interaction.Ethanol has only reduced the preparation that contains the greater particle size medicine and/or has not contained Klucel The density of preparation.For containing less drug particles and/or Klucel Preparation, observed adverse effect.To bulk density or tap density, obtained same conclusions.(4) to the influence of granular size: use medicine to obtain the bigger granule of more particle diameter with greater particle size.In addition, ethanol and Klucel Between interaction be significant, promptly in preparation, do not have Klucel The time use ethanol often can produce larger particles.For containing 4%Klucel Preparation then do not observe any effect.There is the factor of appreciable impact to comprise ethanol, diameter of aspirin particle and the interaction between them to fine particle percentage ratio in the granule.Use less drug particles often can make more fine particle is arranged in the granule.When using ethanol, produced more fine particle as granulation liquid.Alcoholic acid effect is the most remarkable to the preparation that contains the small particle diameter medicine.(5) to the influence of granulation liquid volume:, contain less grainsize medicine or use ethanol as the bigger liquid volume of the preparation needs of granulation liquid in order to reach the granulation terminal point.(6) vitro drug release: the percentage of valproic acid from controlled release tablet discharges as shown in Figure 1 under conditions in vitro.Release characteristic difference between preparation is very little.In this experiment, use release percentage ratio (Q at the 8th hour 8hr) represent rate of release to carry out data analysis.Found that, in preparation, use Klucel Or the medicine of greater particle size causes rate of release to increase.When using Q 10hrOr Q 24hrObtained similar results when estimating rate of release.
The preparation that contains high load capacity and high-viscosity polymer often shows the compressibility of going on business.It is believed that this is because along with due to polymer ordered property of the increase of molecular weight and the elasticity increase.At about 3000 lb (1.3 * 10 4Newton)-Yue 10000 lb (4.45 * 10 4Newton) under the compression stress, the hardness of tablet almost remains unchanged.
